"Roar!" A loud eagle cry echoed, and a giant goshawk with wings possibly approaching twenty meters in span burst out from the mountaintop, pursuing Shi Yu.
Shi Yu walked through the air, covering hundreds, even thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, his speed surpassing that of the ten-thousand-year goshawk.
This speed greatly surprised the ten-thousand-year goshawk. Its feathers lit up with a special light, its energy suddenly turned violent, and its speed dramatically increased.
It used its innate talent skill to pursue, intending to compete with Shi Yu.
Shi Yu fled as much as possible. Without any power limiting his Naruto's Instant Transmission, he was fearless even against the ten-thousand-year goshawk.
The goshawk's speed was fast, but Shi Yu's speed was even faster.
In this state, Senior could run a distance of one thousand kilometers in over thirty minutes, which the ten-thousand-year goshawk could not achieve.
Soon, the distance between them widened until the goshawk could no longer see Shi Yu's back.
"Roar!" The goshawk cried out in anger, feeling greatly humiliated.
After shaking off the goshawk, Shi Yu arrived at the summit of a new mountain peak, still finding nothing.
He searched one mountain after another like this. His speed was relatively fast, making the search quite convenient.
After searching over thirty mountain peaks, he still found nothing. Shi Yu found a place to rest.
The main purpose was to recover his consumed Soul Power. In the dangerous Sunset Forest, ensuring his Soul Power was full was essential.
Soul Beasts could basically be seen on these mountain peaks, mainly flying Soul Beasts. Many powerful flying Soul Beasts would occupy the mountain summits as their habitats.
Weaker flying Soul Beasts mainly inhabited the areas around the mountain body.
"There's mist there." After searching for most of the day, Shi Yu finally found something.
Mist lingered around a mountain peak in the distance, distinguishing it from the surrounding peaks.
This caught his attention. If Senior remembered correctly, the summit of that mountain peak had energy mist formed by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Shi Yu headed in that direction, intending to investigate, only hoping to get what he wished for.
As the distance closed, Shi Yu felt the difference in the Space in this area.
Senior was particularly sensitive to Space and could clearly perceive that the Space energy in this area was more active.
Its active attributes might be Ice and Fire.
Shi Yu really wanted to land on that mountain peak to confirm carefully, but to be safe, Senior still chose to land and recuperate first.
After restoring his Soul Power to its peak, Senior slowly and cautiously flew towards the mountain peak without rushing.
For him, who could fly through the air, climbing the mountain was a very simple matter. What truly made him feel difficult was Dugu Bo.
"Don't be at home, don't be at home," Shi Yu prayed in his heart, hoping his luck would be better.
As Senior ascended, he paid close attention to the cave entrances around the mountain body. If this was that mountain peak, there was a cave entrance somewhere on the mountain body, and Dugu Bo usually lived inside.
Perhaps it was because of his different location, but Senior did not find any large cave entrance.
He gradually ascended to the height of the mountain summit and landed on the summit like a thief with a guilty conscience. There was a sunken area ahead.
Shi Yu slowly floated over, making sure not to make any footsteps.
Upon looking over, Senior indeed saw the valley located at the mountain summit. This was the place Senior was looking for.
"I finally found it," Shi Yu rejoiced inwardly.
He constantly soothed himself, telling himself not to get excited. Finding it didn't mean Senior could be happy yet; Senior still had to be careful of Dugu Bo.
He stood at the edge of the valley and looked down for a long time. Because of the dense energy mist inside, Senior couldn't see clearly and couldn't confirm whether Dugu Bo was below.
After hesitating for a moment, Senior still slowly descended towards the bottom of the valley, prepared to use Naruto's Instant Transmission to leave at any time.
As long as his reaction was fast enough and Senior could use rapid and continuous Naruto's Instant Transmission before Dugu Bo realized Senior could quickly move away, then Senior might indeed escape from Dugu Bo.
As long as the distance was pulled far enough, even if Dugu Bo unleashed the powerful might of a Title Douluo, it might be difficult to restrain Senior.
If Senior couldn't be restrained, then the chance of escape could be said to be one hundred percent.
Senior was confident in his speed. Encountering multiple Soul Beasts along the way and easily turning danger into safety also proved his ability.
Shi Yu passed through the dense energy mist and could already see the scene in the valley.
It was like entering a diverse flower garden, with seemingly no duplicate plants at first glance.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the center was particularly striking, one red and one blue, faintly resembling a Tai Chi pattern, with a clear boundary between them.
Centered around it were dazzling plants that made one's eyes blur.
Shi Yu didn't rush to look at these medicinal herbs but carefully searched for Dugu Bo's figure.
Senior didn't hope Dugu Bo was here but rather to ensure Senior was not here.
After careful searching and feedback from Space, Senior could basically confirm that Dugu Bo was not at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"It seems my luck is really good," Shi Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Senior didn't know if Dugu Bo was somewhere else on this mountain peak, but it was good that Senior wasn't here.
Even better, Dugu Bo likely hadn't discovered that Senior had arrived here yet.
Of course, it was also possible that Dugu Bo wasn't on this mountain peak at all but in Heaven Dou City.
Senior remembered that Dugu Bo was the Senior Guest Elder of Prince Xue Xing. If there was nothing else, Senior should be with Prince Xue Xing. Senior might only come here to use the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress the poison and relieve the pain when his own poison acted up.
"I have to hurry," Shi Yu calmed his agitated emotions and began to search.
Stealing things from someone else's medicinal garden naturally couldn't be done slowly.
Furthermore, the violent ice and fire mixed energy contained within made it unsuitable for staying long.
Senior had to quickly find the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Black Ice Herb and consume them to perform the Ice Fire Golden Body. This was one of the purposes of his visit to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Ice Fire Golden Body would not only allow him to adapt to the energy here but also enhance his physical strength and make him immune to ice and fire energy. In the future, facing ice and fire attribute Soul Beasts would give him a natural advantage.
Shi Yu floated in the air, not daring to land. Walking on the ground would inevitably touch some plants, which might be highly poisonous. Senior didn't want to walk and suddenly get poisoned and collapse.
Not touching was best. As for the smell, there was nothing Senior could do. Senior could minimize inhaling but couldn't stop breathing entirely, so it was hard to guarantee Senior wouldn't ingest some toxic substances.
However, Senior had consumed the nine star begonia flower, so some relatively weak poisons couldn't poison Senior.
"This should be the Eight-Cornered Black Ice Herb," Shi Yu found a plant with eight icy leaves on the side of the Cold Spring. This matched the image of the Eight-Cornered Black Ice Herb in his memory.
After noting its location, Senior used Naruto's Instant Transmission to go to the Yang Spring on the other side and found a plant as red as fire.
Shi Yu stared at it for a long time, then searched the entire area. Senior didn't find a second plant of the same level as this one. Senior could basically confirm that this was the Fiery Apricot.
